SOLD
Hey guys!
Unfortunately this post i will be able to cover only with a video, the grandmother of my wife is having a hard time and we are visiting her parents to give some assistance, so please be patient till i figure out some professional pictures in my studio, im likely to be at home on sunday.
I will be also clearing all emails next days.
I hope the 1080P video covers all the details of this very special blade.
Raptor is a original design by me that has a wide variety of shapes and profiles. For this one, i tried to make something in the sabatier/gyuto all around profile, like a regular chef knife for daily use.
It is hand forged from 14C28N steel to make that cool texture, hardened with cryo to 61hrc, focusing more on toughness as the geometry itself is able to offer a huge edge retention (near zero behind the bevel).
14C28N is basically the same composition of AEBL, great reputable steel, one of the toughest available out there. A extremely fine grain is guaranteed, as the blade was carefully heat treated in a professional kiln.
THE HANDLE is where this knife becomes almost a jewelry on its own - it is made out of one of the rarest species in the planet, as well expensive. You can read more about it in the 2# on this link -> https://rarest.org/nature/expensive-wood
At least on my experience, this wood has been harder to find than snakewood (MUCH more), actually, i could only purchase a few pairs of it from my supplier because that was all he had.
I was extremely careful to use the most special part of the block for putting in the handle both colors of it, having a natural transiction between brown, purple and black tones.
In order of making this wood even more special, i did a tappered tang ground to less than 1mm at the end and used a micarta liner in the tang.
The beautiful zipped pouch in the beggining of the video is already included in the purchase, where it will offer all the safety of travelling overseas
WATCH IN FULLSCREEN ON YOUTUBE FOR SEEING BETTER ITS DETAILS

200mm blade length - 56mm wide at the heel - 2,8mm thick at the thickest point - tappered tang - 61hrc with cryo - zero grind (thinned to zero in the edge) - Brazilian rosewood A+ grade - 14C28N by Sandvik
